Roleplay:High Seas Adventures!!

THIS ROLEPLAY IS ASK FIRST BEFORE JOINING.

Overview

Back in the golden age of pirates, the seas were well journeyed by ships and their crews. Some of these ships were crewed by blood thirsty pirates, raiding the costal cities and plundering their spoils. Other ships were manned by fame-and-fortune seekers, who were searching for fabled legends and other priceless treasures. And a few ships were that of the royal navy, who would guard their homeland against pirates and other invaders. They too would sometimes travel to distant lands to aquire treasure in the name of their country. There will be adventure, love, rivalries, some singing, and a quest to became the most famous (or notorious) crew in history. What kind of crew will you join? The choice is yours!

Setting

The setting takes place in the golden age of pirates. There are a lot of seas to chart, islands to explore, and towns to plunder. Most of the story will take place on one of the ships. However, conflicts between rival ships are bound to occur. The setting can also move to any of the towns or islands, depending on what a particular crew is doing (i.e. plundering, exploring, or shopping.)

Rules

The rules are the same as that described in the SFW policies and standard for most roleplays. But I'll restate them here for convience.

1. No godmodding.
2. No breaking the fourth wall.
3. No excessive use of foul language. Censor all of it completely. It would be better to not use it at all...
4. No sexual content. Kissing, flirting, hugging are fine. Just don't go too far.
5. No changing or creating a plot without my permission.
6. You MUST be respectful towards other users. Any disrespect will result in a warning. Continued offenses will result in you being kicked out and your characters walking the plank.

Now for the rules that are unique to this roleplay...

1. This Roleplay is Strictly Non-Canon to everyone.
2. All users must be able to use good grammer. In addition, I would prefer that users use story format when making a post. If you have trouble with this, talk to me about it.
3. In order to avoid having a user keep track of too many characters, each user is limited to using no more than four characters.
4. This roleplay takes place in the Golden-Age of Pirates (so, no Televisions, automatic weapons, etc.)
5. All characters that enter are ALLOWED to keep their current powers, but don't over use them. In addition, technology that didn't exist in that time is strictly forbidden. If your character is a technology wiz, then they can create some technology. Just don't create anything too advanced.
6. The characters you enter with must have some changes made to them in terms of history and name. They may keep their abilities, but you are free to change their name and history within the roleplay. See the other characters that have entered for examples.
7. Please wait for other users to make their edits. Not everyone can be on the computer at all times.
8. Each user can only have up to two of their characters as part of the same crew. If you must have all of your characters be in the same crew, please ask me first.

Discussion

Here, all users will discuss as to who gets to be captain on which ship. There will only be one ship in the Royal Navy and the Pirates categories (for now.) In the Treasure Hunters section, there will be two ships. Each ship will have no more than seven members (and no more than two from the same user). In addition, users can discuss the ships' names.

Royal Navy:

[I've decided to make Cyan (aka Surg) the captain of this ship. Since he's the princess's cousin in this RP, the king would have hired someone close to the family to search for the princess. Any objections? ~Frost)

(also, you need to come up with a ship name. ~Frost)

Treasure Hunters:

(Now that we have our crews, we just need to pick a captain for ship two and a name for each vessel. For ship one, I vote for the name "Midnight Shadow" ~Frost)

(Quick comment, Static needs a name for this RP. Any suggestions? ~Frost)

(Flame has been nominated for Captain of Ship two. And because I haven't seen Lil' Mike on here, I'm removing Kong from the RP. If Lil' Mike wants to join in, he may re-enter if he wants. All in favor of Flame being captain, say "aye". ~Frost)

(Aye. ~Frost)

(Aye. ~Flame)

[So far, here are the results (make your comments above this post):

Crew one: Zorovar, Valencia, Eclipse, Fotiagos, Ebony, Willow, Shockwave.  Captain: Zorovar.

Crew two: Flame, Jad, Static, Crymson, Burg, Blind.  Captain: Unknown]

Pirates:

[Kira: I think that Skylar should be captain. He's more experienced with his powers than his sister so he could probably make a better leader. Also I don't think they would let a female have that kind of authority back in the golden age of pirates. Once again, I Kira hereby nominate Skylar the Hedgecat as captain.]

(SoC: Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but wouldnt Skyla(unless she doesnt have her powers) just control him?)

(Frost: To add, female pirate captains (though very uncommon) would be able to assert themselves as captains (or first mate) if they showed enough power and authority.]

[ I kinda just think it's unfair that Skyla is always her brother's boss. Let my guy hedgekitty be the main one of the 2 for once. :) ~Kira]

[Also, I think that Lulu would make a great first mate, and I think that maybe Ernest (William) would make a great captain, but It's just an idea, and I think Skylar would make a great main 2 as well. -SPop120 SPop120 (talk) 00:16, April 2, 2013 (UTC)]

[ Guys, We have 10 Pirates and my four charaters are going to be in the same crew, so, what do we do?! ( I asked for the four of mine to be in the same crew.) 24.58.83.171 01:23, April 2, 2013 (UTC) ]

[@SPop, I can see Lulu as being the first mate if Skylar is the captain. If the 3 demons are all on the same ship, a good name for the boat could be the "Demon's Kiss", the way Skyla kills guys. :3 ~Kira]

[@Kira. That's a really good idea. My vote is on that whole idea. -SPop]

(what if Ruin ends up on their crew? -SoC)

[Then there would be 4 demons on the crew of the Demon's Kiss. :3 ~Kira]

[ I want my charaters to be on SPop's ship, but than we have 3 extra pirates.... ~ 24.58.83.171]

[@Anon, what are the alignments of your characters? None of them have pages so I can't really check. Just curious. -Kira]

[@Kira, they are all chaotic good. So they have some kind of pirate houor. ~ 24.58.83.171 ( also right now I'm on a IPad so I can't edit after this, so wait for me if you need anything from me)]

[...But if they're chaotic good, why are they joining a gang of ruthless plundering and town burning scurvy sea dogs? Pirates are typically viewed as bad guys... -Kira]

[ They are outlaws so the only way to get the law off their fuzzy backs is to become pirates. That and not all pirates are evil, just most, some( like RavenCool & Co.) are houorable, but to them, it's themselfs and their famliy first. So, they are outlaws because they had said something is not right and had almost got hanged for it, and they know they will be hanged when they are found, but they just try to be happy till then, if it comes to that. But they want people at their side to keep them calm as they know the rest of their friends and family have gotten hanged by now, but Steve hopes his love is still alive. Makes you want to feel bad for them, eh? ~ 24.58.83.171]

[Suggestion: Since there are 10 pirates, there could be 2 ships each with 5 crew members. That way both ships would be equal in terms of the number of characters. -Kira]

[ Than can RavenCool be captain of ship 2 then? She has ice and fire powers and great swordsmenship. And out of the 4 of my charaters, she is the most carefree, not worrying about the past. ~ 24.58.83.171]

[I would like to hear everybody else's suggestions for who should be the captains, just so it's a fair decision. Let everyone's voice (or text) be heard (or read, lol)! :D -Kira]

[ ok, but I think everyone is talking about SPop's ship XD ~ 24.58.83.171]

[In my opinion Skyla should be captain due to her being a female succubus in the age of pirates which is mostly male, that could be a useful trait indeed. Also she's a hydrokinetic and she's surrounded by a vast ocean of WATER. I know that her brother has stronger hydrokinesis but her also being a succubus makes up for it in my eyes. Also being an impersonator she could be useful in raids Animeman919 (talk) 19:49, April 2, 2013 (UTC)]

[That gives me an idea: Skylar would have the title if Captain, but he would just be a figurehead. He would be under Skyla's complete control as her puppet. Although I am partial to having Skyla be captain. I could honestly go either way. -Kira]

[ Kira, you have a good point there my friend. ~ 24.58.83.171]

[So there are ten pirates?? Wow, A lot has happened since I last checked this page. Anyway, here's what I would suggest. SInce 24's characters are "chaotic good", they can have their own ship and one other pirate (the least evil, if possible) can join them. This way, there is one "bad pirate" ship (the demon's kiss) and one "honourable pirate" ship (name undecided). How does this sound? ~Frost]

[Since there is one other pirate character whose alignment is Good (Remnant Chang), they can be with the "honorable pirates". That leaves Skyla, Skylar, Lulu, Knackburn, and Ruin as the crew of the Demon's Kiss. I'm leaning towards the idea of Skylar basically being a figurehead captain while his sister has complete control over him. Her mind control is strongest when used on Skylar... ~Kira]

[ Ok, but can RavenCool be the Captain of the honourable pirate ship? ~ 24.58.83.171]

[That's between you and Animeman, since you two are the only users with characters on the "honorable" pirate ship. If he/she is fine with it, then RavenCool may be captain.

As for the Demon's kiss (if everyone agrees on that name), all in favor of Skylar being captain, but with Skyla controlling him, say "aye". ~Frost]

[I would have to know more about RavenCool and the other characters before making a descicion due to them not having pages on the wiki. Animeman919 (talk) 04:47, April 7, 2013 (UTC)]

[Kira votes aye on Skylar captain wih Skyla controlling him. ~Kira]

[Aye. SPop120 (talk) 00:37, April 8, 2013 (UTC)]

[I say aye as well Time to unveil my new power... CHAOS LASH!|Yeah... that hurt didnt it?]

[Sounds like everyone agrees. Very well, Skylar is captian of the Demon's Kiss, but Skyla is controling him. ~Frost]

[ @ Animeman919 RavenCool is a grey wolf with a carefree but somewhat knowing mindset, and she has Ice and Fire( Ice > Fire in her case) and a sword with great skills. Steve is a Nocturnus clan echidna that is very calm but his temper ( when he loses it) is not to messed with, in the RP, he will most likely have dual short swords because he can't use leech brades, no matter how much that makes sense. Bob is kinda like a Nocturnus verison of Knuckles, just smarter, he will be using a rapier. Pete is a Nocturnus echidna ( that is blue!) that is level headed and rarely loses his temper, in this, he won't have his robo wings that come from his rank( Yeah he is one that has the wings in battle), he most likely be using a long sword. All four of them will have firearms, the most likely to be using one is Pete. ( If you want to know, Bob is green. XD ) Got any weapons that would work with Pete or Steve? 24.58.83.171 01:19, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

[Who is the oldest? Animeman919 (talk) 01:22, April 13, 2013 (UTC)]

[ Pete, who is 19. But RavenCool is the biggest and toughest of them. She is as tall as a human. 24.58.83.171 14:25, April 13, 2013 (UTC) ]

[We need to get this RP moving ASAP. Since your characters are on ship two, you guys should come up with a ship name. Also, decide on a captain as quickly as possible. ~Frost]

[please can i join now LM)

Current Plot(s)

As of the start, there are two main plots in the RP.

1) Rumors of untold treasures on a far away island are being spread abroad throughout the towns and ships. Many fortune seekers are begining to hire crews to aid them in their quest for treasure.

2) Brynt Cynders, the beloved princess of the kingdom, has gone missing. No one knows the exact nature of her disappearance, but there is an incredible reward for her safe return. The Royal Navy have orders to bring her back safely if they see her, and are also offered the reward. Pirates might try to capture her and hold her for ransome.

Chapter I:

The sun was just setting over the town, casting the settlement in a beautiful crimson and orange hue. Near the port of this town, a rust colored dingo clothed in an all black outfit and wide brimmed hat was approaching an old tavern. It was here that Captain Hallstrom was supposed to meet up with two people to discuss a course of action regarding the location of a fabled treasure.

The dingo entered the tavern and headed towards a table where two figures awaited him. The first was a black feline of some sort garbed in black robes. Her eyes were glowing yellow behind the veil that conceiled them. Leaning against the table next to her chair was a staff with color changing crystals on each end. She said nothing, but gave a welcoming nod to the dingo as he approached their table.

The second figure seated at the table was a white and black-furred arctic fox, with icy blue hair and violet eyes, and was clothed in a tan shirt and brown leggings and skirt. She glanced at the dingo who was nearing the table. "Not friendly to keep a pair of women waiting..." She said somewhat quietly, a sly smile visible on her light gray muzzle.

"My apologies, Valerie." Coltan Hallstrom said as he neared the two. Upon reaching the table, he pulled out a large rolled-up piece of paper. Looking around to make sure that no one else was looking in their direction, he put the paper on the table and spread it open. It appeared to be a map of some sort, showing the known region and a few other places that were shrouded in mystery.

"I get the feeling we're about to go treasure hunting." The black feline figure stated, keeping her voice low so no one else aside from her two companions could hear her. Her glowing yellow eyes were studying the map as she spoke.

"That we are, Midnight." Coltan confirmed proudly, but quietly. "Did you two already find some others to join us in this quest?" When the three had arranged to meet up at the tavern, Coltan asked the two to find some other people to join their crew and help operate their ship. After all, a ship would require more than three people to operate it efficiently.

"I haven't." Valerie said in a somewhat low voice. "You should know I'm not really one for socializing, let alone recruiting people."

"Right. I understand." Coltan said, understanding his love's situation. Both he and Valerie were vampires. Even though vampires were usually tolerated in this region, most people would rather keep their distance. Coltan then looked at Midnight, "And you?"

"I've found a few people who were willing to join." She answered. "Though it would have been easier to do if you had told us what it is we are going to look for. Many of the people I talked to wanted to know what we're going to look for. And how well they'll be paid for their help."

"They'll be paid based on how loyal to us they are, and how much they contribute to helping us. Correct, Coltan?" Valerie questioned.

Coltan nodded. "Yes. And as for what we're looking for..." He looked around to make sure no one was listening in. He then leaned in and began to whisper. "This map will supposedly lead us to the Fountain of Youth. Just think about all the money we could make, selling that water to people who would want to live forever!" He kept his voice low so no one else would hear him, but the excitement in his voice was clearly there. "And not only that, but just discovering that such a thing exists? That in of itself would be an amazing discovery!"

Before either of his female companions could comment, a short koala bear wearing a royal uniform entered the tavern. He was accompanied by two fierce looking guards armed with spears. The koala bear then took out a piece of paper and began to read aloud. "Attention, everyone!" he shouted to get everyone's attention.

As he said these words, all conversations and actions that were taking place in the tavern ceased. Everyone was giving the messanger their undivided attention. Whenever a messanger from the king gave a public announcement, it had to be something very important.

The koala cleared his throat and continued reading from the paper he was holding. "A terrible event has taken place: the king's daughter has gone missing!" Murmers speard throughout the tavern, but quickly died down as the messanger continued. "A grand reward will be given to whomever brings the princess back unharmed and safe. The reward will consist of several thousand pounds of gold and precious gems, as well as the deed to the Nottingham Mansion."

The Nottingham Mansion was a large, luxorious mansion located a few miles away from the port settlement. While the settlement was very well known for its size and elegantness, it was best known for all the property that came with it. Anyone who owned the mansion would also own a lot of property, which in turn would make them even more wealthy. If fact, anyone who was given the mansion would become a noble instantly!

The koala continued with one final comment. "The king himself will bestow the reward on the individual or party who accomplishes this task." After he finished his announcement, one of the guards nailed a notice on the tavern's wall near the enterence. Then the messanger and his escort exited the tavern to go to the next public place to give the news.

A young brown hedgefox was walking through the streets in her navy uniform. She had heard the news about the missing princess; she was assigned along with a crew and a captain to find her. She felt as though she needed to find the missing princess, as it was important to the king, and with an unhappy king, an unhappy kingdom, she thought to herself. She was walking to the docks to report for duty.

A black wolf was running down the streets, his garb tattered and torn, and with a mischevious smile on his face. He passed the hedgefox without notice.

Valerie rolled her eyes as the koala began speaking. "I couldn't care less if anything happened to the princess. Those snobby royals could learn a thing or two without their 'precious' princess." She said in a low voice. Her ear twitched as the reward was mentioned. "The money would be nice..." She murmured. "I personally have no use for the manor." The fox then leaned in to whisper to Coltan. "And the Fountain of Youth? We'd become rich by selling its water to everyone pitiful and rich enough to want it." Valerie grinned.

As the conversations went on, a shadowy figure lurked about silently listening in on the Treasure Hunters. Dressed in all black including a trench coat, pants and boots, the individual used his acute sense of hearing to pick up each peice of the conversation. IceFire had originally came here with the means to collect a bounty on Coltan Hallstorm. However, the dingo's voyage seemed to be a much more rewarding adventure. Finding the Princess seemed all too tedious so it was swiftly dismissed. The wolverine remained hidden and silent as he searched for an oppurtunity to make his pressence known.

Coltan nodded. "Right. Though I think the manor would be nice. If we do come across the princess while looking for the fountain, we should try to bring her back." He was about to say something else when he glanced in IceFire's direction. While IceFire had tried to look casual and not interested in the discussion, Coltan could tell that he was listeing in on the conversation.

Midnight was lost in her own thoughts. "I can't help but be worried about the princess." She stated. "After all, she's loved by a lot of people. And I heard that her arranged marriage with the prince of one of the other kingdoms is supposed to help strengthen the alliance between the kingdoms. Could it be that she ran away because she doesn't have any feelings for that prince?"

A young snow leopard walked down the street. She saw Valerie and Coltan chatting, but she couldn't decipher what they were talking about.

"Oi... Just because someone is loved by many doesn't mean they should be. The opposite is also true. Take me for instance; there are a great deal of people who loathe me." Valerie stated simply.

Coltan got up out of his chair suddenly. "We should leave. Now. It's not safe to discuss this further. Not here, anyway." He spoke quietly and quickly. He didn't know if the person watching them would try to take the map by force, but the captain wasn't about to take any chances. He would exit the door with his two companions and head towards the docks. He keept one hand on the handle of his sword, Requiem, should anyone try to attack him or his friends.

By now, night had fallen over the settlement. The street was dimly illuminated by lanterns mounted on posts. Each post was place at a specific distance from each other at regular intervals. The street was mostly empty, save only a few pedestrians who were making their way home. In addition, a few guards were patrolling the streets, on the look out for any trouble.

With his subjects of interest on the move, IceFire would not allow them out of his sight. There was something about Coltan's plan he found compelling, way more so than the frivolous bounties he's collected over the years. With the dimming light being used to his advantage, the wolverine continued to stalk his prey. For once, he didn’t care if he was spotted. Being unseen was an instinct of his by now and he worked to find a way to approach the situation in a more civilized manner other than waiting for things to happen. Regardless, he kept a close eye on the group and began to make his way gradually closer and closer.

Valerie walked quickly along near Coltan and Midnight. She kept her large ears perked up to listen to any noise around her. Rather than looking around, she kept her gaze entirely in front of her as she moved.

A few minutes passed, and the trio found themselves at the ship yard. At the rate they were moving, they would reach their ship in about two minutes. In this section of the town, there were no guards to be seen. It was at this point that Coltan decided to enter a nearby alley. As soon as they were out of sight of IceFire, he motioned for his female companions to hide. Midnight used her magic to temporarily turn herself and Valerie invisible.

IceFire raised an eyebrow as he watched Coltan lead his allies into an alley. It was at this point the wolverine had an assumption his presence was known and he would proceed with the utmost caution. He slowly made his way to where he last saw the trio. While their scent was fresh in his keen nostrils and he could sense they were near, he wasn't able to see them. Knowing they were still nearby, the Thermomancer clenched his multicolored hands into tight fists. He was expecting an ambush and braced himself for anything as he slowly skulked about.

The black wolf ran into the alley, unaware of the invisible people. He turned around and walked slowly with his scimitar's sheath in his hand.

The snow leopard strolled along the streets, with boredom. The hedgefox was about to report to the docks very soon. She looked around curiously, eyeing to see if there were any suspicious faces.

"Fancy meeting you here." A voice said from behind IceFire. Before IceFire would be able to react, the tip of Coltan's black sword was at the base of the wolverine's neck. Coltan had reappeared out of the shadows almost as though he had melted out of them. "I find it rather curious that you were in the tavern not too long ago, and now here you are in a dead end alley, only moments after we entered. Even more curious is the fact that you left the tavern around the same time as us and took the very same path as us, even though the guards are on the lookout for trouble makers such as you and I. Coincidence?" he finally asked.

"Unhand me you fiend!!!!" Much to everyone's hearing is a female voice, shrieking. Two bandits were taking hold of a figure who is wearing a blue cloak with a hood over her head. She was jerking and pulling her arm, trying to get out of the bandit's strong grip.

"Aye, sweet pea. I will let you go, until we find out if you are the missing princess to our captain." One of the husky bandits said, laughing half-heartedly.

"I....know no one of the sort. I am not the princess!!!" She continued to jerk, but yet she slipped out of her cloak and fell. The female is a black cat with long crimson hair, braided down. Her attire is like a female captains attire, but without the hat. She has pure gold earrings and sapphire gems on her. She looked up to the bandits as she watched them get to her in fear.

"No worries, honey. We will not hurt you, much!" The other bandit said as the two grabbed her, trying to keep her still while she squirm like a worm.

The black wolf poked his head out of the alley. "Hey, why don't you let the lady go? Don't you have any manners?"

"Heads up!" a voice shouted from somewhere close by. Without warning, an orange cat swung right into one of the bandits from behind. He was holding onto a rope of some sort, swinging from the mast of one of the ships. After knocking the bandit flat on his face, the feline let go of the rope, performed a backflip midair, and landed on his feet a couple yards from the bandit.

He was wearing a pair of black boots, black pants, a white short-sleeved shirt with a navy blue vest, and a matching blue bandana on his head. He had a small gun tucked into his pants, a sheath tied to his lower left leg (knife included), and also had two swords, each hanging from a scabbard tied to his black belt. He was also wearing a pair of fingerless black gloves. In addition, a small silver ring hung from his neck by a piece of leather, tied into a necklace.

IceFire had stopped briefly to further focus his formidable senses on the surrounding area. His ears suddenly perked up and he made a movement to turn around, only to find a blade pinning itself on the back of his neck. He growled in frustration and the dingo would see the red fur on the back of his head and his exposed fingers glow briefly. For that short moment, the temperature made a noticeable increase before returning to normal.

"I wish to speak with you, but it appears there's a bit of a scuffle out in the streets." He pointed out, pointing a thumb towards the commotion. The wolverine swore he heard something about the Princess and wanted to see for himself.

"Yes. So it seems." Coltan mused. "Midnight. Valerie. Go see what's happening." After the two females left the alley, being careful to keep a good distance away from IceFire in case should he try anything. After they exited the alley, Coltan resumed his talk with IceFire. "Speak with me, you say? Well, since you went through the trouble of following me here, I guess I should oblige. What do you want to talk about?"

IceFire watched the.2 females leave. Attacking them never crossed his mind and he was almost expecting them to do so.

"If you have no objections, I prefer to talk face to face." He said, keeping his head forward. He leaned forward to remove the sharp edge from his neck. He didn't seem to care he was at sword point as he turned to face the dingo. Just to calm his possibly edgy demeanor, his slowly hoisted his arms into the air, fingers spread apart. "I am but a humble traveller who offers service in turn for nothing but the thrill of adventure. I believe I can be of great assistance in your quest."IceFire responded, his tone stern and cold.

Coltan allowed the wolverine to turn. "Is that so?" he asked, after listening to IceFire's answer. "While I should feel honored that you would like to assist me in my quest, I can't help but wonder this: You've been following me since before I entered the tavern to discuss this business of mine. Now, it wouldn't surprise me at all if you had been following me to collect a bounty someone has on my head. You wouldn't be the first, and definitely not the last. But I suppose you think this little adventure of mine would bring you a greater profit?" He then moved his sword so that it was only about an inch away from the wolverine's throat. He was silent for a short time, his red eyes studying the figure before him. After studying him, he added one last comment. "Tell me this, then: If that be the case, what services could you offer me?"

IceFire remained undeterred, even with his throat barely an inch away from the blade. Coltan's piercing crimson eyes would be met with the wolverine's unmoving cold stare which didn't waver, even for a second. He truly appeared unaffected by what appeared to be a sort of interrogation.

"It seems I was foolish to even attempt to deceive you, Captain Hallstorm." The Thermomancer replied, knowing the dingo's name from information provided by his client. "I could've killed you before you got a chance to blink; your female companions as well. You are right when you say I find your quest more entertaining." He remarked coldly. He thought of his words just now and realized that would be no way to make allies, especially given things weren't in his favor at the moment. "That's beside the point however. You ask what tools I can employ to assist you? I have 4 weapons on me which I'm quite deadly with." He informed, nodding his head at the twin swords sheathed with his cross scabbard. Afterwards, he turned his body slightly to show Coltan the holster on his leg barely visible from his trench coat. IceFire had an identical one on the other side. "Aside from that, I have another ability that can be far more deadly." He went on. At that moment, the blue fur on the left side of his body begin to glow. Instantly after, there'd be a noticeable decrease in temperature that would gradually get lower.

"Most importantly, I am an expert tracker and seek treasure between assignments, which is something I've become proficient in." He finished. The azure fur continued to glow. IceFire felt it was unnecessary to reveal his kinetic abilities as it probably wouldn't be of importance to the Vampiric dog. Just in case things turned hostile, he needed something to assist him and the ice that would engulf his body in a few moments would work well.

Coltan could feel an eerie chill as IceFire's blue fur began to glow. He knew that this wolverine would put up a difficult fight if he attacked. However, Coltan couldn't help but respect this wolverine's confidence. "Well, it would be too much trouble -and quite frankly, too messy- to kill you, so I may as well hire you." He lowered his sword, keeping it at his side. "Besides, you seem like an alright sort, albiet the following me to kill me part. Welcome to my crew, Mr.....?"

"Likewise." IceFire replied at first, mainly referring to the "too much trouble to kill you part". "I thank you for trusting me and allowing me to partake in such an adventure." he went on, showing a very vaguely tone of friendliness. He was truthfully excited about embarking on this quest, a feeling he has long forgotten. "I have long abandoned my birth name, but you may refer to me as-" he was interrupted by another presence in the alley and his eyes instantly shifted to see who was approaching the duo.

The Black wolf watched the females leave, he turned his attention to the two people talking. "Hmmmmm... what are they talking about?"He walked up to them, with his sword's hilt in his hand. "Excuse me, but what are you talking about."

IceFire glared coldly at the black canine. Instinctively, his left arm, already positioned in the air, gripped the dark red handle of Ignis. The temperature continued to drop to the extent one's breath could be visibly seen. If one were to look at the Thermomancer, his left eye would start looking more and more blue colored as time passed.

"It depends who's asking." the wolverine replied rigidly.

The Black wolf looked at his hand, and gripped it as well. 'BlackStone, and might I advise you to not try to bring out your sword? I'm very good with mine."

"I advice the same to you." IceFire remarked, ready to defend himself if need be. His grip on the sword increased slightly and he unsheathed it about a quarter of the way. Frost began to envelop the left side of his body and if the canine were to attack, he would most likely find himself frozen

Blackstone noticed the sword and unsheathed his blade just a little as well, a small bit of electricity surging as he did.

Coltan turned his attention to the wolf who had just entered. He was quiet while he and IceFire talked on less-than-friendly terms. He could almost feel the tension rising as each one had began to unsheath his sword. However, he was already at an advantage, as his sword was already in hand. He then looked back at the entrance of the alley and could catch a glimps of what appeared to be an orange cat rescuing the black cat from her aggressors. He then looked back at the wolverine and wolf before clearing his throat. "Pardon me. I don't mean to change the subject, but isn't there a woman in distress?" He asked, refering to the scene happening just outside the alley.

Blackstone looked briefly at the scuffle, than looked back. "That is true." He sheathed his sword and held his hand at Icefire. "I apologize for my aggression, Mr....?

IceFire looked to the scuffle, finding he had forgot about it with how things went down. At this moment, the 2 would find the temperature around them reach freezing levels. With this, the left half of the wolverine's body became cyan in color and crystalline in appearance. He had unlocked his Cryokinetic abilities and was ready to use them.

"Save the formalities for later." He told Blackstone, not even sparing him a glance and ignoring the handshake. He gripped both swords and fully unsheathed them. His sword Glacies followed a similar manner as its wielder. "Now, how about we stop some bandit scum?" He suggested. While this seemed heroic of the Thermomancer, he simply wished to do it just for the thrill of battle.

Blackstone frowned."Whatever, in any case you're right, let's clean up this trash." He unsheathed his sword as well. "I may actually have some fun."

Before either of them could go out, Coltan's sword blocked their path. "Not yet." He said. "I want to see if this cat is as skilled as he looks." He was impressed with how the cat had entered and interrupted the bandits. Now the captain wanted to see if he was good with a sword.

The orange cat looked back at the bandits. "Didn't anyone teach either of you brutes how to treat a woman?" he asked. He unsheathed one of his swords, a long curved blade. Anyone who looked closely could see a few streaks of lightning run through the sword every several seconds. "Now, how about you two leave this nice lady alone?" he asked. But he got the feeling that he would have to do things the hard way.

(It would be CrymsonShokwave's turn at this point. She's controlling both her character and the bandits. ~Frost)

( May I ask if this is a good time to have my charaters come by, who are all apart of the same crew? I like to make sure everyone is ok with when I bring my charaters in. ~ RavenCool *was 24.58.83.171*)

(Actually, if you don't mind, Raven, I would prefer if at two of your characters would join Static's crew. Since Flametfh left, that opened up two slots in that crew. ~Frost)

( Well I don't want the brothers three, Pete, Bob and Steve, in diffenet crews than each other, but RavenCool shares no relatetion with the three, so I'm fine with her in Static's crew. But it will get odd if the crews ever fight cause I will have RavenCool know them still. ~ RavenCool)
